Hi All,
We have been to WDW so many times we can't count. I feel like my kids have grown up on WDW property. We have also been to Disneyland Paris but have never ventured out west to Disneyland or California at all! We are a family of 4, with our two girls being 15 and 12 at the time of our trip. We travel all over the world so we like to think we know what to do. However surprisingly we haven't touched the west coast much at all. This is what we have planned so far. Please give us any feedback or any tips that would help make the trip just that much better! I look forward to reading all the responses. Thanks in advance. Below are the details!
July 10-14th Flying into LAX and staying at the Hilton Anaheim. (We are former DVC members** and almost rented points for GC but couldn't bite the bullet on the price)
Some helpful things about us as a family:
*****We sold our DVC two years ago and it was the hardest travel decision to make. While I don't regret it because the money we were putting towards the DVC costs has allowed us to see the world, I do very much miss being in the nicest places on property.

- 2 day 1 park each day ticket
- Max Pass (we got hit with the price increase by one day! Should've bought them a day sooner!)
- NO clue where to eat. (Favorite WDW restaurants Ohana, Le Cellier)
- Want to do some LA tourist Hollywood stuff. Any must sees?
Some helpful things about us as a family:
- We LOVE rides. The bigger the badder the better.
- We love delicious high end food. No seafood though please. We are from Maine, seafood is overrated in our opinion. A juicy steak, killer sandwich or top notch pasta is where it's at.
- We love details and picture opportunities. My husband and I do photography for a hobby. The little detailed things make our trip unique to us are our favorite and create unexpected memories.
